Completing Your New Patient Paperwork

If you're a new patient, the online form above covers your medical and dental history along with the consent items we need on file. Completing it before your appointment means less time at the front desk and more time with your dentist. Prefer paper? You're welcome to fill everything out when you check in at our Albuquerque office instead.

Returning patients typically only need to confirm or update their information, which usually takes just a minute or two at check-in.

What to Bring With You

  • A valid photo ID
  • Your dental insurance card, if applicable
  • A list of any current medications
  • Notes on any dental concerns or questions you'd like to discuss
